170: The True Use of Runic Writing (I)
Joel naturally knew something about the Runi script, but Joel didn't know exactly what Runi script was engraved on Gangenir to make it play its due role.
He recalls how Odin invented the runi script in Norse mythology...... The means are not cruel.
Joel covered his right eye, his heart was ruthless, anyway, this body does not belong to him, just endure some pain.
He returned to Asgard the way he came, received greetings from the soldiers, and went to the canopy of the World Tree, which covered the whole of Asgard and was shaped like an upside-down bowl.
Joel hung himself from a thick branch and stared straight into the abyss at the bottom of the World Tree.
In Norse mythology, Odin hangs himself from a tree branch for nine days and nine nights, gazing at Niflheim, and Joel wants to emulate him.
A javelin made of branches of the World Tree pierced his flank, staining the grayish-brown Gungnir with blood, before falling to the surface.
"Odin, what are you doing!" A beautiful woman dressed in a luxurious palace dress walked over, followed by several maids, "Stop! ”
Joel looked at her with the only remaining left eye, and his brain automatically gathered information, this is Odin's wife, the diva of Norse mythology, Frigga the goddess of the sky and the earth, and another interesting allusion is that Friday is a derivation of her name.
Joel hurriedly skimmed through the information in his brain and learned that Frigga was good everywhere, but her memory was very poor.
"All right," he said, waving his hand to the maids to pull back, "I have my own intentions. ”
"That can't hurt your own body, your eyes ......" Frigga looked at her husband's empty right eye socket and her heart twitched.
Joel didn't want Frigga to disturb his thoughts, "Go see Thor, I think he's been on his mind lately, I guess there's something on his mind." ”
"Thor......" Frigga hesitated for a moment with a puzzled look on her beautiful face, "Who is Thor?" ”
Joel: "......"
"Your son."
"Ah......" Frigga then remembered, she saw that the expression on her husband's face was wrong, and retorted with some grievances, "I haven't seen him in a few days, isn't it reasonable that I can't remember?" ”
With that, she shook off her robe and left the canopy of the World Tree with the maid.
Joel's eyes were staring at Niflheim at the bottom of the World Tree, far away, he couldn't carefully observe the fine shape of the Fog Country, from a high altitude it was just foggy, Gungnir was extremely sharp, and the wound pierced on his flank was deep and sharp, and the faint pain made Joel unable to concentrate.
It was in this state that Odin did not eat or drink for nine days and nine nights to create the runi script?
It's terrifying.
Joel calmed down and thought carefully as his brain searched for information about magic and spells.
As he thought, the three races of the Aesir (Asgard), Warner (Warnerheim), and Elves (Alfheim) in the nine kingdoms have magical talents, and they know that they have some special powers in their bodies, but they don't know how to guide these forces scientifically and correctly to play a more powerful role.
The Giant Kingdom is infinitely powerful, the Frost Giants and the Fire Giants each have comprehended an elemental ability, Niflheim and Heim are good at using the undead to fight the dead, and humans have more powerful territorial reclamation methods, cultural enlightenment and reproduction capabilities, and there are also a few wizards among them.
Rune ......
Joel hung upside down from a tree, contemplating the past and present of the Runi script.
In the later wizarding world, their research on Runi was more inclined to theoretical research, and the translation of Runi ancient books to restore the daily life of wizards in ancient times, and the practice of magic spells has nothing to do with Runi, and most of the spells used by wizards today are composed of modern languages such as English, Ancient Greek, and Latin.
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"
Why not use Runiwen as the linguistic basis for modern spells?
First, because the Runi script was broken in the 12th century - Christianity was introduced to Northern Europe, and the Runi script gradually disappeared into the long river of history, and the existing Runi script is incomplete; The second reason is that the runi script is extremely difficult to use as a chant for spells - since modern shamans do not use the runi script at all in their lives, other languages are more convenient for young wizards to learn.
This doesn't mean that Runiwen's use as the base of the spell language will be less powerful, and in Joel's opinion, it may even be more powerful.
The question is, how do these runi characters carry the spell as a carrier?
Joel pondered, watching the sun and moon alternate eight times, but he still didn't get an answer.
How did Odin create Runiwen?
Joel was puzzled.
The wounds left by Gungnier on his body had not healed for a long time, and Joel felt like his blood was running out for eight days.
After the ischemia, his brain was even more sluggish, his eyelids were heavy like a heavy door, and he could no longer see Niflheim beneath the World Tree.
Joel turned his stiff head and looked at the ground beneath him.
He waved his arm, and the blood that had congealed was separated, forming 24 letters on the stone bricks, which were later learned by Joel and others.
In the past eight days, he had seen the Runi letters countless times, but he still couldn't find a single connection between the magic and the Runi letters.
His mental state was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't heal his injuries for eight days and eight nights, even if he was using Odin's body now, he couldn't withstand such abuse.
In front of him, he saw the 24 runi letters on the stone bricks on the ground twisting, as if the waves were rippling.
Waves, writhing ......
It was as if a window had been opened in Joel's heart, and inspiration appeared in his head.
“?” The meaning of this runi character is "ice", of course, it has different meanings in different contexts, it can also be expressed as "hail", "ice pick".
Case......
Joel stretched out an index finger and pointed it at the runi character "?" on the ground, and a stream of water poured down, and before it could hit the blood patchwork character, Joel magically froze into an ice pick.
The icicle simply hit the runi character, and at this moment, a cold force surged from the blood-red runi character, colliding with the ice pick in midair, and the two icicles were evenly matched, and after a moment of fighting, they shattered to the ground.
Joel laughed out loud, and it was only now that he knew the true meaning of Runi's words.
For Runiwen to be most effective, the caster's blood is required.
He looked at Gungnir on his flank, the branch of the World Tree had been completely impregnated with Odin's blood, and the brown branch had been completely stained blood-red.
Joel pulled out the javelin and carved 24 runi characters on it, the branches of the World Tree were so hard that even Odin's strength could only leave a shallow mark on the javelin.
That was enough, Joel watched as the blood slowly soaked through the characters, the power contained in it was gradually lit up and awakened, and Gungnir finally revealed its strongest form.
Just by holding it, you can realize infinite power.
A flash of light pierced the sky, a flame-like glow swaying on the tip of the spear, the light flushed slightly, and a golden chain extended from the end of the spear, binding Joel's right arm before disappearing.
Joel looked at the spear in his hand with satisfaction, and before he could test the power, his eyes suddenly went black, and he lost consciousness.
